Prince Harry's squad of close friends - who is in his inner circle?

Prince Harry may mix with the likes of Hollywood megastars and sporting legends thanks to his move to the US,  but over the years, he has kept a select few friends who he counts as his closest confidants.

The royal's friends have been with him for every major milestone in his life, including his wedding to Meghan Markle at St George's Chapel in Windsor in 2018.

Read on to find out more about Prince Harry's oldest friends and inner circle here...

Prince Seeiso of Lesotho

Prince Seeiso of Lesotho was one of the few foreign royals who bagged an invite to Harry and Meghan's wedding back in May 2018. Prince Seeiso is the youngest brother of the king of Lesotho. The Duke's most prominent charity is Sentebale, the organisation he co-founded with Prince Seeiso in 2006 to help the most vulnerable children and young people in southern Africa get support to lead healthy and productive lives.

Prince Seeiso also featured in the Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, in which Harry revealed when he was 18 years old he took a trip to Lesotho in Southern Africa whilst dealing with the paparazzi and still grieving for his mother. There he met Prince Seeiso, who hadn't long lost his own mum, and Harry said they quickly "became like brothers". "Lesotho gave me the space and the freedom to breathe, to live and to grow," he said in the show. "I've got a second family out there and a group of friends that literally brought me up."
